City cost & eligibility
$33 for the first bulk item on a scheduled Thursday collection, with each additional item at $16.50. City of Lansing households, with the pickup requested and paid before it is scheduled.
When & how
Request and pay for the Thursday bulk pickup, then have the screen at the curb on that day.
Get it ready

Anything too large for the blue trash cart with the lid closed, and likely over 30 pounds or 4 feet long, is a bulk item that the City collects on Thursdays by request.
City cost & eligibility
$33 for the first bulk item on a scheduled Thursday collection, with each additional item at $16.50. City of Lansing households, with the pickup requested with the City's form and paid before it is scheduled. Households that meet the City's income qualifications can ask for one free item each year.
When & how
Measure the item against the City's definition, request the pickup, pay from the emailed instructions, and have it at the curb on the scheduled Thursday.
Get it ready
Count each item separately because the additional-item rate applies to everything after the first. Keep yard waste and recyclables out of the bulk request, since the City runs those as separate CART collections.
Bulk items are only picked up on Thursdays, and only after the pickup is requested and paid for. If the item is not at the curb on the Thursday the work order names, it may have to wait until the following Thursday.
Nothing is scheduled until the payment is made. After the bulk item form is submitted, watch for the email with the payment and pickup instructions, then pay online, by mailed check, in person at the Treasurer's Office in City Hall, or on the automated phone line.
The City's ordinance puts containers in the right-of-way no earlier than 4:00 p.m. the day before collection and expects them back off the right-of-way by 7:00 a.m. the day after. Plan a bulk item for the same Thursday window rather than leaving it at the curb all week, because left-out material can draw a fine.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
